Peercoin v0.4.0 Upgrade - Service Providers

We need help from our users to contact your favorite exchange providers and other service providers to confirm their upgrade schedule. If they already upgraded, feel free to post it here.

To further protect undue exchange loss/issues due to ignorance of the upgrade schedule, another alert message would be sent to all v0.3 clients to trigger safe mode on May 5th around the protocol switch time. This means v0.3 clients would by default stop sending any more transaction, unless manually overridden with configuration setting.

Ok, I just copied the exchanges from the official thread and this thread - http://www.peercointalk.org/index.php?topic=127.0 to assemble a complete list:

I’ve already started adding a few, but I’m sure there are a few more of them. Smaller and newer ones.

We also need to let our merchants know. Should we run another list for that? Or just add here?

Happy to update this post if people post whether they have contacted or about to contact the site (status orange) and when they have received a positive answer (status green). All others stay status red until we have heard something from them. Between brackets the alias who is emailing or has received a confirmation. Please copy and paste responses or links from exchanges in this thread.

@sentinelrv, feel free to edit the post or take over. Thought I just do a bit of work while I was on to it, but might not have the time to update it every day of the week.

Example email to send to your favourite Peercoin exchange or service provider:

Dear ,

In order to ensure that all Peercoin related services can continue after 5 May, we are confirming with our exchange and service providers whether they have updated or in the process of updating to the mandatory v0.4 Peercoin client. The v0.3 Peercoin wallet will cease to work after 5 May 2014. Upgrades of existing v0.3 wallets after 5 May require a download of the blockchain to be able to continue using the wallet.

Therefore we like to have a response from you on the following questions as soon as possible:

  1. Have you already upgraded all your wallets to v0.4 in order to continue services after 5 May?
  2. If no, have you already planned to upgrade your wallet(s)?

Here are some useful resources to upgrade the wallet:

Developer announcement for mandatory upgrade to v0.4:
http://www.peercointalk.org/index.php?topic=2473.0;all

Direct download of official v0.4 build here:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/ppcoin/files/0.4.0/

Looking forward to your response.

Kind regards,

On behalf of the Peercoin community,

<your name/ alias> or just The Peercoin Community if you are really keen to stay anonymous

  1. 796.com

Thanks. Added to list.

https://agx.io
also https://anxbtc.com/ had it in the past, but I am not sure if they still do.

One more exchange in China: bter.com

I have an account at the Vault of Satoshi, but I need to know exactly what I am to say to them.

I can also cover Bittylicious

They still list PPC, so I added them to the list.

I had an answer from litebit.eu that they upgraded to v0.4.
He mentions that he still has one server (on litepaid.com) displaying the upgrade message though, which I think is odd. I already asked him to double check.
As I also don’t know whether this is normal behaviour or not, I’m not sure what to advise. I’ve asked him for a screenshot of the QT with the version and the upgrade message.

To be continued…

I’ve added an example letter in my post under SK’s (2nd in thread). Would you be good to cover VoS and Bittylicious?

Would you be good to send bter.com and 796.com a message like in my example letter above?

Only v0.3 clients should display the alert message. Check the version and protocolversion field of the ‘getinfo’ output. For v0.4 client version should read ‘v0.4.0ppc-beta’, protocolversion should read 60004. Post the error message from getinfo if you get any from a v0.4 client.

Anyone got a confirmation from btc-e with the upgrade?

Just sent them an email. Will post if they respond.

Thanks Yurizai

Will add my name against cryptonit, coinomat.com and bkchain.

I have posted the upgrade notice and forwarded to all those three exchanges at weibo.com/peercoin

BTW, will someone make a version logo/meme similar to “PPC V04 Upgrade” for this upgrade notice so as to spread and attract those service providers.

Will add you name to it in the second post of this thread
